Benq released the first ever 16X recordable drive, the DW1600A back in June, supporting only 16X DVD+R writing. Since then, other manufacturers have shipped 16X DVDВ±R solutions along with 4X DL, leaving BenQ behind in the speed race. Recently, BenQ announced that by the end of August, all DW1600A buyers would have the chance to upgrade their drives up to 16X DVD-R writing! The long awaited firmware finally arrived at almost the same time as the DW1620A hit the market, supporting 16X DVDВ±R but not 4X DL. At this point, it is very intersting to see how well BenQ's 16X DVD-R and 4X DVD-RW implemetation works, since we already know that the DW1600A is one of the best recorders for +R/+RW formats, thanks to the chipsets used (Philips) and the unique recording technologies implemented, as will be explained below.
